The grand jury probing crimes within the Fundamentalist LDS Church is meeting here again today.

Jurors were escorted into the Schleicher County Memorial Building about 8:30 a.m. local time, with law enforcement surrounding the building. However, by mid-day, it did not appear that any witnesses had showed up to testify.

Attorneys representing some young women from the FLDS Church have said their clients were not subpoenaed to testify this time. Prosecutors from the Texas Attorney General’s Office went into the building early this morning, taking briefcases and boxes with them.

The grand jury could be hearing more evidence based on scores of documents seized in the raid on the FLDS Church’s YFZ Ranch. Marriage certificates, diaries, photographs, scrapbooks and dictations were all taken as evidence. Some has wound its way into ongoing custody cases as Texas child welfare authorities sought to show a pattern of underage marriages.
